Elite Casting Network Principles

We are building Elite Casting Network to make the world more open and transparent, which we believe will create greater understanding and connection. Elite Casting Network promotes openness and transparency by giving individuals greater power to share and connect, and certain principles guide Elite Casting Network in pursuing these goals. Achieving these principles should be constrained only by limitations of law, technology, and evolving social norms. We therefore establish these Principles as the foundation of the Terms of Use Agreement of those within the Elite Casting Network Service.

1. Freedom to Share and Connect

   People should have the freedom to share whatever information they want, in any medium and any format, and have the right to connect online with anyone - any person, organization or service - as long as they both consent to the connection.

2. Ownership and Control of Information

   People should own their information. They should have the freedom to share it with anyone they want and take it with them anywhere they want, including removing it from the Elite Casting Network Service. People should have the freedom to decide with whom they will share their information, and to set privacy controls to protect those choices. Those controls, however, are not capable of limiting how those who have received information may use it, particularly outside the Elite Casting Network Service.

3. Free Flow of Information

   People should have the freedom to access all of the information made available to them by others. People should also have practical tools that make it easy, quick, and efficient to share and access this information.

4. Fundamental Equality

   Every Person - whether individual, advertiser, developer, organization, or other entity - should have representation and access to distribution and information within the Elite Casting Network Service, regardless of the Person's primary activity. There should be a single set of principles, rights, and responsibilities that should apply to all People using the Elite Casting Network Service.

5. Social Value

   People should have the freedom to build trust and reputation through their identity and connections, and should not have their presence on the Elite Casting Network Service removed for reasons other than those described in Elite Casting Network's Terms of Use Agreement.

6. Open Platforms and Standards

   People should have programmatic interfaces for sharing and accessing the information available to them. The specifications for these interfaces should be published and made available and accessible to everyone.

7. Fundamental Service

   People should be able to use Elite Casting Network for free to establish a presence, connect with others, and share information with them. Every Person should be able to use the Elite Casting Network Service regardless of his or her level of participation or contribution.

8. Transparent Process

   Elite Casting Network should publicly make available information about its purpose, plans, policies, and operations. Elite Casting Network should have a town hall process of notice and comment and a system of voting to encourage input and discourse on amendments to these Principles or to the Terms of Use Agreement.

9. One World

   The Elite Casting Network Service should transcend geographic and national boundaries and be available to everyone in the world.
